Inspired by book blogger Davida, at The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog, herself inspired by a couple of other bloggers (see here for instance). I plan to post about it on Saturdays, except the 1st Sat of the month, when I usually feature another meme.

The rules are simple:

1. Sort your Goodreads TBR shelf from oldest to new
2. Pick the first 5 or 10 (or whatever number you choose, depending on how large your list is) books you see
3. Decide whether to keep them or get rid of them.

RESULTS FOR PREVIOUS READ OR SKIP

I’ll keep 46, 53, 55, 58, 61, and 146
I’ll Skip: 44, 48, and 82
